PLUGIN INFORMATION
===============================================================================

Plugin:       24SCD SnareClapDesigner
Version:      0.3.5
Format:       VST3, 64-bit; standalone application
Type:         Real-time synthesized snare and clap instrument
Creator:      Marko Damjanovic (MARCOD)
Studio:       24REC
Completed:    August 26, 2026

24SCD creates snares and claps from synthesis rather than fixed samples. Its
body resonators, wire-noise system, impact layer, multi-burst clap, synthetic
tail and output stage form one playable instrument with 50 factory presets.

===============================================================================
MAIN SECTIONS
===============================================================================

SNARE BODY
----------

Tune sets the fundamental. Tension, Mode, Balance and Decay shape the two-mode
body. The 808, 909, Acoustic, Modern and Free models use different synthesis
relationships rather than loading samples.

WIRES / SNAPPY
--------------

Snappy, Tone, Decay, Tightness and Rattle shape the snare-wire layer. Noise
choices include Analog, LFSR, White, Pink and Wire characters.

HIT
---

Stick controls the initial strike and Punch adds short low-mid impact.

CLAP + TAIL
-----------

Burst count, Spread, Width, Tune, Crowd and Clap level form the multi-hand
clap. The separate Tail section controls its amount, decay and colour.

SNARE / CLAP
------------

Separate levels balance the two engines. Offset moves them relative to each
other, while Glue progressively unifies clap spacing, envelopes and saturation.

OUTPUT + PERFORMANCE
--------------------

Drive and Output finish the sound. Velocity changes timbre as well as volume.
Drift introduces restrained per-hit variation. Note Lock aligns the body to an
equal-tempered pitch. Low Cut clears unnecessary sub energy.

===============================================================================
ANALYSIS AND PRESETS
===============================================================================

The centre display includes waveform, spectral and in-track context views.
Optional sidechain analysis shows Body, Crack and Air collision regions without
automatically changing the sound.

The 50 factory presets begin with Tech House and continue through House,
Techno, Hard Techno, Psytrance, Trance, Drum & Bass, Breakbeat, Dubstep,
Garage, Grime, Trap, Electro, retro-machine, cinematic and utility roles.

Press TRIGGER or the space bar in the standalone application to audition a hit.
MIDI notes trigger the instrument in a DAW. Velocity affects level and timbre.

===============================================================================
QUICK START
===============================================================================

1. Load 24SCD as a VST3 instrument and send it MIDI notes.
2. Choose a factory preset close to the role you need.
3. Set Tune or enable Note Lock and select a musical root.
4. Balance Snare and Clap, then use Offset and Glue to combine their character.
5. Adjust Body and Wire decay in the context of the track.
6. Set Drive and Output while leaving suitable headroom.

===============================================================================
INSTALLATION - WINDOWS VST3
===============================================================================

1. Close FL Studio or any other DAW currently using the plugin.
2. Extract the downloaded ZIP archive.
3. Copy the complete folder named:

       24SCD SnareClapDesigner.vst3

   to the standard Windows VST3 folder:

       C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

4. Restart the DAW and rescan VST3 plugins if necessary.
5. Confirm that the detected plugin reports version 0.3.5.

The included standalone application can be opened directly for testing without
a DAW. It does not replace VST3 installation for use inside a DAW.

===============================================================================
COMPATIBILITY
===============================================================================

24SCD is supplied as a 64-bit Windows VST3 instrument. It requires a compatible
64-bit host and MIDI notes for normal DAW operation. The plugin outputs stereo
audio and can optionally accept a sidechain for visual context analysis.
